Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scarce rewards and resources can cause conflict when one person tries to take all the credit and exclude the other person from recognition and rewards. This is likely the cause of conflict between Tim and Karla as Karla is trying to take all the credit, leaving Tim with no recognition or rewards. The other options (expressed struggle, perceived problem, and interdependence) are not as relevant in this scenario.
